We have action! The formwork has been laid!

We were told the 15th February should be our official start date and I was still waiting on confirmation from our CSO about this when 'B' drove by the land last night and noticed we had formwork!!!

When I did my usual drive-by this morning I also noticed all our waffle pods and steel has been delivered this morning too! Talk about exciting! 'B' reckons our slab may be down by end of this week, beginning of next. Better get on to our Mortgage Broker (who are absolutely awesome by the way) to organise the next drawdown of our loan.

And before I post all the exciting pics (exciting to us anyway!) I'll just add I was really shocked by the size of the footprint of the house! Usually when I've seen slabs they looks so tiny & I can't imagine a decent size house fitting on it but not this time!

Couldn't resist one last drive-by this afternoon and happy to see some plumbing's been done. Wonder what I'll find on Friday...

Welcome

We've just built our first home and are loving it! It's so great looking around and knowing that we chose absolutely everything around us. This blog documents our positive experience building with Eden Brae as well as some of the challenges we faced along the way. Now we are up to the really fun bit that is decorating and setting up our new home.
